Hey,

I did the following configuration in smb.conf of my debian machine

#-------------snap begin------------------#
 [globals]
security = share

[user1-docs]
comment = User1's Documents
path = /home/user1/Documents
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
force user = user1
map archive = no
#--------------------snap end---------------#

I know this is insesure. but we are in a small office like a family. I
can use IE to access my debian machine by entering
\\mypcname\user1-docs

The problem is I want to get access to my Windows XP file server's
E:/backup folder. When I switch my machine to Windows system I can
access XP server's backup folder by entering \\server\backup in IE's
address bar. But  this is not the case in debian system. In Debian
system's Mozilla if I enter \\server\backup in address bar it tells me
"http:\\server could not found".

Can any of you tell me how to use Debian system access to window XPs
share files in my LAN please?

Thanks,
Rocky
